Lake Virginia to Vermillion Valley Resort
Mileage: 14.3 miles (23.0 km), total 92.4 miles (148.7 km)
Today was a highly anticipated day for us because we were going to reach Vermillion Valley Resort or VVR as it is commonly referred to. VVR is set on the shores of Lake Edison. Unfortunately for us, as 2015 is such an incredibly low snow year, the water level at Lake Edison is much lower than it would be in an average snow year. Therefore, VVR was no longer running its larger boat (commonly seen on JMT videos) but was using smaller boats and dropping hikers off further away from the trail head.
The night at Lake Virginia was pretty cold but it was a beautiful spot to camp. We headed out from camp and passed by Tully Hole and Cascade Valley.
